A $250 quad? A $980 vanity? LV’s first makeup launch is… a lot.
Pat McGrath partnered with La Beauté Louis Vuitton – and the results are jaw-dropping, both visually and financially. But this video isn’t just a breakdown of products. It’s a deep dive into pricing, prestige, and why our brains short-circuit when beauty becomes luxury.
We’ll unpack the collection, the cases, the hype, and the history — and ask: is it indulgence, identity… or just marketing?
